Call Answer Service

The MERLIN MAIL—ML system's Call Answer Service allows callers to leave
messages or transfer to another extension when the extension called is busy
or does not answer. When a message is left, Call Answer Service deposits the
message in the subscriber's voice mailbox, then lights the message-waiting
indicator on the subscriber's phone. If the subscriber has Outcalling turned
on, the MERLIN MAIL—ML system will also place a call to the specified
Outcalling number.
In addition to acting as an answering machine, Call Answer Service enables
callers to perform any of the following actions:
Press [0] (zero) for the system operator.
Transfer to another extension by dialing [*] [T] (or [*] [8] ) before or
after leaving a message.
Review and edit messages before depositing them in the
voice mailbox.
Leave messages in the General Mailbox if the subscriber's voice
mailbox is full.
